Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation - Standards
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation'The artificial substitution of heart and lung action as indicated for HEART ARREST resulting from electric shock, DROWNING, respiratory arrest, or other causes. The two major components of cardiopulmonary resuscitation are artificial ventilation (RESPIRATION, ARTIFICIAL) and closed-chest CARDIAC MASSAGE. Common names: Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation; Resuscitation, Cardiopulmonary; CPR; Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation; Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation; Resuscitation, Cardio-Pulmonary; Code Blue; Mouth-to-Mouth Resuscitation; Mouth to Mouth Resuscitation; Mouth-to-Mouth Resuscitations; Resuscitation, Mouth-to-Mouth |

Cognitive aid for neonatal resuscitation: a prospective single-blinded randomized controlled trial.
16 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Retention of skills and knowledge after neonatal resuscitation courses (NRP) is known to be problematic. The use of cognitive aids is mandatory in industries such as aviation, to avoid dependence on memory when decision-making in ... Read more...
